ITH4CE Up

The self-COnstituted leaders Of the pro-
posed new party in Texas are promising
"the rank and file of the Prohibitionists"
forgiveness, (sicD provided the latter
will aid these leaders in preventing any
Prohibitionist from obtaining en- office
hereafter 10 the state. These gentlemen
propose to recruit their new party By
'lerge sccessions from the Gnti-prohibi-
ton Republicans" liable it true blue De-
Tnocracy and sound the rally to all the
fsithiul. They will "forgive" any
man provided he will vote TO-, cir
nominees, but they claim tnr,-: -ly the
leaders of the ti-Prohibitionist should
have the Offices. That is, j. II. Jackson
is more worthy thsn Bailey or Potter il
Cooke; Melvin Wade more deserving
than Judge Henry in Dallas; BurreI
Johnson more worthy tan Bsckham,
Wynne, Jarvis or YanZandt in TaIrant,
etc. Bat THE GAZETTE, which shines for
al, regrets to note, while the leaders OF
the Pros are TO be damned and the leaders
of The Ants are 10 be glorifed IL

only tie Democratic sntis are provided
for. Now, surely, if the one test iol

opposition to prohibition, the Democratic

COUNTY ROADS.

To the surprise Of many, the Commits
sioners' Court decided at its last sitting,
On Thursday, to let the question CT
straight roads for Tarrant county remain
in a5eysnce for the present. There was
opposition to the project from its incip-
iercy; some opposed it on the grounds
that it would cost the county too much,
without giving any resultant benefits;
others opposed it for reasons satisfactory
to themselves but difficult to discover by
others. According to The beet adviCes,
the road would have cost only trife as
compared with the time and labor spent
in following the old road. II the first
fourteen miles had been reduced to ten,
thus shortening the route by four miles,
the SAVING TO travellers and those who
haul their crops and freight over it,would
soon pay all the expense OF opening the
road. TIE proposition is simple one.
Take the entire expense of traffic and
/ travel, the wear and tear CT harness and
vehicles, the time consumed and the labor
necessary to haul them, aud it will, ct 6
/ fair estimate, amount to an enormous
sum. By curtailing and Strengthening
this road to Bransford, nearly one-third
of this expense VIII be saved snnuai.y
aud 1t would soon loot up enough to pay
/ all expenses incurred in establishing and
maintaining it. The three thousand FIVE
hundred dollars necessary to purchase
right of way is mere bsgatelle. II the
property owners along the lire OF the
proposed route fully appreciated the i'm
portance Of q frst-class thoroughfare
conveniently accessible to their p :cperty,
they would make the cost Of right OF wy
less. It is no exaggeration to say TIA.
lands now worth fifteen dollars an sore
would enhance in value fifty per cent
were they connected with the city by e
good r1ai wl;cl you'd be 3. ., times
psssable. The objection to the sandy
section on the proposed new route will
hardly be found tenable. While sand il
not the choicest kind Of soil upon which
70 drive heavily laden wagons, it is al
ways passsble ard never so 'fheavy" as is
the black mud, which, in wet weather, is
worse than Sand and almost as bad
as no road st all. The commissioners
acting for the whole county, exer-
cised their Judgment as to what would
be best for the VI ole county doubtless,

happily FOR WHAT YOU WANr.

"APPLY FOR WHAT YOU H.ANT. ."
Oar Mobeetie letter, printed in yester-
days GAZETTE, contained this paragraphs
In a letter to a gentleman of this county who
applied 10 lease school lands, the land com
missioner says "All unsoId and Unbiased
lands are subject to lease. Apply for what you
want"
THE GAZETTE must presume that its
CORE pordent correctly quoted the land
commissioner, but would be only too
glad to hLd thst there was some mistake
in this matter. Certainly the language
quoted is terse and to the point In one
brief sentence Mr.. Hall sets at rest al
dcuts az TO the policy which he intends
to pursue n the management Of these
lands.
"ApplY for what you want" TIE bull
!ion&ircs, the syndicates and the CORPORA
items, which haye heretofore been re
strained from leasing by laws and regu-
lstions which regarded their interests as
OF less Importance than the settlement OF
the school lands, will doubtless, for the
first time since the land question Las been
sctively agitsted, breathe sigh CT relief
when this invitation is received.
Now that it is settled tEat the pasture
interests ere 10 get what they want, the
public and the prospective immigration
must ndure a further season of su5-
pense while the 6Grons ere making up
their minds as to what they want.
THE GAZETTE, SIS friend OF the set
tier, begs that they VIII not deny him the
crumbs Of the rich feast TO which they are
Invited by the state.
"Apply for What sou want" We trust
the members Of the Twentieth LagisIa-
ture are content with the new caption
which the commissioner has given thcil
laud law battling.
Ia the meantime THE GAZETTE hopes
that it will not disturb the grave deHb-
erations of the barons, upon which hinge:
the fate of "a empire in territory, 10 IN
quire what was the intention CT thC
Legislature ia the following pro
vision Of The law under (which Gem
missioner He'll IS acting when he invite.
the pasture men to take "what they
want" "The Commissioner, if satisfied
that the lands applied for (to lease ar
not IN Immediate dcmaRd for PURPOSES a.
actual settlement, and that such lands cal
be leased without detriment to the pub
lie Interest, shall notify the applicant !!
writing that his proposition to lease i
accepted"
Isit true that none Of the school land
ere wanted for settlement, and that tn
reports from the Panhandle about the dc
mand for lands for purposes of settIemen
ere all mythical"

snd concluded that one piece of Eroad
would benef. one section only. They
should have remembered that one rosd at
time is ell that can be built, and thst
Tarrsnt county is in condition at pres
ent which demands good roads and must
have them ere long. THE GAZETTE re-
gret5 that the commissioners cid not
decide differently and make beginning
On what must soon oe $ general system

Ii the utterances Of certain leaders and
newspapers do not mean this, they are
mere sound ard fury, sigQifying nothing
mere than the eferyescence Of success
THE GAZETTE appeals from Phillip drunk
TO Phillip sober, and it is taking for
Democracy, and not for pros or ants.
This paper does not understand that any
Democrat is pleading with any other
Democrat for place in the Democratic
household, or that any Democrat has any
forgiveness to ask Of hose who ere set
ting themselves up as judges in new or
in the Old Democratic Israel. If new
alleged Democratic party is to be
organized, end composed Only of
those who voted against prohibi-
ton, each man Will decide for
himself whether or not be desires to
sni,iate with il: and If the Democratic
party continues to DO business st tie old
stald no Democrat will ask any other
/ Democrat for admission or voice therein,
or pay any heed to the vaporIngs Of those
who presune to say what they will or
will not DO with life long Democrats who
never belonged 20 a Greenback club, who
never heEitsted IS to whether they would
be Republicans or Democrats, snd who
never applied to E J. Davis for an Office
when the heel of tyr8nry was on the
necks of the people and the hope q office,
SIS Democrat, seemed vain indeed.
